REVERSIBLE MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 718,508, dated January 13, 1903.

Application filed Novembe 30, 1901- Serial No. 84,285. (No model.)

To (I/ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, VICTOR LEATON OCHOA, a citizen of the United States, residing in Peekskill, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reversible Motors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates especially to the construction and arrangement of rotary motors designed to be actuated or driven by liquid or gas pressure, and has for its object the provision of a motor wherein the pressure of such motor liquid or gas shall be economically utilized. I

To attain the desired end, my invention consistsin certain novel and useful combinations or arrangements of parts and peculiarities of construction and operation, all of which will be hereinafter first fully described and then pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my motor. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross -sectional view at line a aof Fig. 3. Fig.3 is a vertical axial sectional view at line b h of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the motor-wheel removed from its inclosing casing.

Similar numerals of reference wherever they occur indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

1 is the motor casing or frame, made of any approved material.

2 and 3 are the front and back plates, held to the frame 1 by bolts or screws 4. Projecting from the plates 2 and 3 are rings 5, wherein are mounted roller-bearings 6 for a shaft 7, whereon is mounted a disk or wheel 8, provided with buckets 9 at its periphery. These buckets are shaped as shownin Figs. 2, 3, and 4 of the drawings.

10 is a pulley upon the shaft 6.

11 is a fluid-pipe leading from any source of supply.

12 is a valve for admitting the motor fluid and directing the flow of the same to the right or left or cutting off such supply, as desired.

Extendingfrom the pipe 11 are branch pipes 13 and 14, passing to jet-ports 15 and 16, extending through the casing 1 and opening into the central chamber, as particularly illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

17 is the exhaust or outlet for the motor fluid.

The operation of my improved motor is as follows: The valve being located as in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the admission of motor fluid will drive the revoluble disk or wheel from left 'to right, the fluid in its escape from the port 16 striking the wings of the bucket in succession, as will be readily understood. By placing the ports 15 and 16 as nearly at a right angle to the axis as possible the greatest leverage or utilization of the power of the driving jet is obtained, and as the wing against which the jet impinges reaches the exhaust-outlet at the same time the next wing reaches the supply-port there is no loss of power by reason of the carrying or dragging dead motor fluid with inactive buckets.

In order to reverse the rotation of the motor, the valve is simply turned to the requisite position.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A reversible motor in which is comprised a casing, a revoluble disk or wheel provided with buckets at its periphery arranged as set forth and shown; a motor-fluid supply provided with a regulating-valve and branch pipes leading to-each side of the revoluble wheel; jet-ports upon opposite sides of the revoluble wheel at substantially right angles to the axis thereof, the distance between the mouth of a jet-port and the exhaust being substantially the width of the buckets of the revoluble wheel.
